Portadown Rugby Football Club

TEAM DEBUTS | PORTADOWN RFC

Yesterday saw Ross Haughey, Denis Kerr, Sam Patterson and Matthew Maguire all make their debuts for Portadown.

All four settled into the side brilliantly and put in strong performances, playing their part in a great team display and a fantastic result on the road.

A brilliant start in Portadown colours and hopefully the first of many appearances to come.

MAN OF THE MATCH | NIALL DAVISON

Yesterday’s Man of the Match was Niall Davison after an excellent performance in our Men’s 1XV 38–5 win over Belfast Harlequins.

From his kicking game and sharp footwork to the way he controlled play throughout, Niall delivered a brilliant all-round performance and played a huge part in a fantastic team result.

A very well-deserved Man of the Match.

FULL-TIME | BELFAST HARLEQUINS 5–38 PORTADOWN 1XV

A brilliant performance on the road from our Men’s 1XV, coming away from Belfast with a convincing 38–5 victory over Harlequins.

A strong team display from start to finish, with plenty of hard work, physicality and quality rugby across the pitch. A great way to build momentum as we head into the season.

Massive thanks to everyone who travelled to support the lads!
